Philanthropist. Humanitarian. That is a start. I simply care about what happens to people. Compassion. This is what led me to found the third largest healthcare provider in the country of Guatemala. Faith in Practice - www.faithinpractice.org. Whether you have faith or not - faith of any kind - you are welcome to come along. I will not judge you. There are enough other people who have made it their business to do that. I will love and accept you. It is your heart that I care about. If you have been hurt - you are not alone. You now have the gifts to help others along with the other wounded healers. Compassion is learned - it comes from unlearning the racist bigoted lessons we grow up with. It comes from a broken heart. If you want to give; if you want to learn; if you want to love and be loved; write me if you dare. It takes courage to break from the patterns of culture that hate and divide. It's not about what you have; it is about what you give. Are you a giver? Philanthropy just starts with a little step. "The majority of us lead quiet, unheralded lives as we pass through this world. There will most likely be no ticker-tape parades for us, no monuments created in our honor. But that does not lessen our possible impact, for there are scores of people waiting for someone just like us to come along; people who will appreciate our compassion, our unique talents. Someone who will live a happier life merely because we took the time to share what we had to give. Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have a potential to turn a life around. It?s overwhelming to consider the continuous opportunities there are to make our love felt.? [Leo Buscaglia]
